Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen vegetables for this stir-fry?
Yes, you can use frozen vegetables; however, be sure to thaw and drain them well before adding to the stir-fry to avoid excess moisture. Adjust cooking time as needed since frozen vegetables may cook faster than fresh.
Is there a substitute for white wine in this recipe?
If you prefer not to use white wine, you can substitute it with vegetable broth or apple cider vinegar mixed with water. This will provide a similar tangy flavor without the alcohol content.
What proteins can I add to this stir-fry?
You can add tofu, tempeh, or cooked chicken for extra protein. If using tofu, press it to remove excess moisture and sauté it separately before combining with the vegetables. For a seafood option, shrimp works well and cooks quickly.
